Epiphany 2017 - The 'Bottom-Up' God revealed

Today, I had the great pleasure of visiting the parish which I served as Curate, from 2005 to 2008 - 'Warblington-with-Emsworth' - (which happens to also be our neighbouring parish to Havant).  It was lovely to see old friends and to minister to them in what is a difficult time for the whole parish at present.  To read my sermon for this Epiphany Sunday, preached this morning, please click here.
